Kiss and Say goodbye

This has got to be the saddest day of my life
I called you here today for a bit of bad news
I won't be able to see you anymore
Because of my obligations, and the ties that you have
We've been meeting here everyday
And since this is our last day together
I wanna hold you just one more time
When you turn and walk away, don't look back
I wanna remember you just like this
Let's just kiss and say goodbye

Yes it is so sad but the time has come for me to end my relationship with diet coke! Caffiene to be more specific. Over Easter we had a lot of fun (I will post more about that later), and Zach was getting everyone drinks. A lot of the family wanted diet cokes and he- wanting to be like everyone else- asked for a diet coke too. i told him no, it wasn't good for him and he looked at me with those big brown eyes of his and asked
"Then why do you drink it, Mom?"

It really made me think, why DO I drink it? It doesn't really taste all that great, just something besides water (and it is 0 points). So I am going cold turkey! No more caffiene. Kerry is way excited b/c I get at least one a day from Sonic so he says if I give up diet coke I can probably put a kid or two through college, he's funny I know. Our Sonic lady will probably miss us, but I think that what we are doing is for the best. So, i will shed a few tears and then stoically bid a fond farewell to my good friend "D.C. with lemon" I'm posting all this b/c I need some accountability and if any of the addicts in my life want to join in my quest to be caffiene free I'm here if you need to talk. *wink* Goodbye dear friend!!!

More things kids say

So this week is spring break and my kids are excited. In Primary they asked what everyone was doing for spring break, there were the usual answers disneyland, grandparents house, etc. Hannah even raised her hand and proclaimed that she was going to visit her friends all the way in Las Vegas..

Hannah: "I'm going to visit my friends
Primary pres (also my SIL): "that's great Hannah"
Hannah: "Do you know my friends live all the way in Las Vegas? Do you know Ethan and Carolyn?"
PP: "Ethan Piet?"
(My SIL has never met Ethan Piet but she knows this b/c Hannah has told everyone in Primary that she is going to marry Ethan Piet in the temple after he goes on a mission) So we got a good laugh.

Then Zach raises his hand and I am a little nervous about what he is going to say, because we hadn't really talked about what we were going to do over the week besides go to Vegas one day.

PP: "Zach what are you going to do for Spring Break?"
(I have to admit I was cringing thinkin what is he going to commit me to do)
My sweet son: "I'm going to pick flowers for my mom." awwwwww! "And go to Las Vegas."

SO I love my son, he is so cute and sweet. Then when we got home he even asked me if they had flowers in Las Vegas. Sorry if you have heard that story already, I have been telling everyone! But I am just so touched, there is nothing so sweet as the love of a child. It makes being a mom soooooo worth it! Hope everyone has a great week.

It's HOT!

So last night we broke down and turned on the a/c- but it is only March people! Why oh why did I ever want to move back here?! It was 91 degrees when i went to pick up Zach from school. 91 degrees in March! So I am pretty sure summer is going to be roasting!
Okay I am done now I just wanted to complain to someone. i am reading all these blogs about how excited they are that spring is finally here and the snow is starting to melt- HA!
Okay now i am really done, it's not that bad 91 degrees is nice weather for here. i am just dreading summer. We HAVE to get a pool, or something
